This excellent study explores the limits of ‘post-racialism’ in an epoch of denial, unsparingly dissecting the common attributes of interesting forms of prejudice.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatricia Williams, Columbia Law School \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Goldberg's \u003ci\u003eAre We All Postracial Yet?\u003c\/i\u003e provocatively and powerfully interrogates the idea of the Postracial as something more than an aspiration, but in fact the basis for a new phase of racial arrangements, shaped by shifts in the political economy, domestic and international law, and geopolitics.
